_____________________________

The process of social change occurring in Venezuela presents two opposing forces in stark contrast. On one side are the youth, farmers, workers and poor of Venezuela, who are taking their destinies into their own hands and, for the first time in generations, feeling confidence in themselves and hope for the future. On the other side are what the majority of Venezuelans now call ?the oligarchy?: the corporate elite and their military cohorts. Joining them are the privileged layers of society, which have been whipped into hysterics by the unscrupulous media giants. These two groups are in direct opposition - one representing progressive change, the other fighting tooth-and-nail to preserve the old order.

The result of the recent recall vote has maintained Chavez? presidency. But this event - even though virtually all Venezuelans participated - is by no means conclusive. All the old contradictions still exist. The aspirations of the masses cannot be reconciled with the business goals of Venezuelan and American corporations - nor with the ?regional goals? of Washington. Bigger struggles are ahead, as both Bush and Kerry have made it clear that Chavez is in their gun-sights.

The Venezuelan masses have reshaped their country and defended their gains heroically. They couldn?t have done it without organizing. All supporters of the progress being made in Venezuela must also organize in order to spread the truth about what?s happening. We have to support the Venezuelan people as they deepen their revolution and carry it through to the end. We must do our part to defend the sovereignty of Venezuela from the circles in Washington and the sections of Wall Street which would end this movement in bloody repression.
